The Sentinel Homes ‘Design and Build’ approach is about giving you a home that is unique to you and your family. Designed for how you live. No cookie cutter homes around here. We can approach your project in a couple of ways:
If you’re looking for something completely custom, we’ll guide you through the design process from floor plans to finishings - the only limit is your imagination. Bring along your ideas and inspiration and work with our team to come up with something that is uniquely yours.
Or, perhaps you’d prefer the inspiration of one of our many existing plans? This can be the springboard from which to design your dream home. All plans can be modified in any way to suit you. Extra bedroom? Easy. Larger kitchen and living? No problem. A home office or art studio? Consider it done.
With Sentinel Homes, no two houses are ever the same!
Choose from hundreds of proven existing plans you can customise to fit your family.

Hayden spent ten years with the police force in Auckland and Wellington before becoming involved in the building industry. The catalyst for this was the need for a new family home for Kylie and himself and a growing family.
Hayden has been involved in the building industry since 2003. He has an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the industry from working in sales, design, marketing, project and branch management with group builders, along with area management for a multinational manufacturer of cladding systems. This has given Hayden well-rounded skills for managing his own franchised building business.
Kylie has previously worked in business banking with Westpac, the District Court as a registrar, and for 10 years as an embalmer/funeral director for local family owned funeral homes, a job where no two days are the same.
One of the main reasons Hayden and Kylie enjoy building homes for people is clearly remembering the feeling they had when building their own new home, the excitement they felt throughout the process, and the sense of achievement and satisfaction once their home was complete.
Hayden and Kylie would welcome your enquiry!

For us it was a no-brainer going with Hayden and his team. We had gone out for quotes with other companies and Sentinel were the only ones who came up to site and understood the challenges of our unique location. Their quote was considerably more detailed and price competitive when we saw what the other companies were omitting in theirs.
We wanted someone we could trust and Hayden from Sentinel Homes, Wellington was very open and transparent right from the start.
We wanted bespoke architects and builders rather than something already on a plan. Being the second time we built, we knew what we were looking for and Hayden and his team could deliver that. We had the most fantastic builders and project manager, who had a great relationship with us directly and their craftsmanship was meticulous.
Let’s get together for a free, no-pressure meeting with one of our team, at your place or ours.
We can't wait to hear your ideas!
